Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vibration sensor comprising a pressure transducer for measuring pressure differences between a first and a second volume being acoustically sealed from each other.
- the pressure differences between the first and second volumes are generated by a pressure generating element in response to vibrations of the vibration sensor.
- MEMS microelectromechanical systems
- MEMS based vibration sensors i.e. MEMS based vibration sensors
- an intrinsic and large drawback of traditional MEMS based vibration sensors is the limited weight of the moveable mass as this limitation has a significant impact on the fundamental noise floor of the vibration sensors, i.e. the Johnson-Nyquist noise level.
- a vibration sensor comprising
- the present invention thus relates to a vibration sensor comprising a pressure generating element and a pressure transducer adapted to measure pressure differences between a first volume and a second volume. These pressure differences are generated by the pressure generating element in response to vibrations of the vibration sensor.
- the pressure transducer and the pressure generating element are arranged in parallel which is advantageous in that it eliminates the need for compliant volumes in connection with both the pressure transducer and the pressure generating element. With no compliant volumes the design of the vibration sensor can be made considerably smaller. Moreover, the sensitivity of the vibration sensor according to the present invention may be significantly increased by reducing the volume.
- the pressure generating element and the pressure transducer form part of, or are secured to, an arrangement that acoustically seals the first volume from the second volume.
- the first and second volumes form part of the vibration sensor.
- the pressure generating element may interact directly with air of the first and second volumes.
- One possible way to comply with this may involve that the pressure generating element is adjacently arranged relative to the first and second volumes.
- adjacent is meant that the pressure generating element may form at least part of a boundary or wall that separates the first volume from the second volume.
- the pressure generating element may be implemented in various ways.
- the pressure generating element may comprise a moveable element operatively connected to a static element via one or more resilient interconnections.
- resilient is meant that the moveable element seeks towards a centre position when not being exposed to vibrations.
- the static and moveable elements, and the one or more resilient interconnections may form, in combination, a one piece component, i.e. a component being made of the same material.
- the one or more resilient interconnections may form one or more hinges between the static element and the moveable element.
- One or more openings may be provided between the static element and the moveable element so that at least part of the moveable element is allowed to move relative to the static element in response to vibrations of the vibration sensor.
- the static and moveable elements, and the one or more resilient interconnections may be formed by a printed circuit board (PCB) having one or more electrically conducting paths arranged thereon.

- the static or movable element and/or the pressure transducer may comprise a small hole having a predetermined resistance between the first and second volumes.
- the predetermined resistance of the small hole induces a low-frequency roll-off.
- a viscoelastic substance may be arranged in the one or more openings between the static element and the moveable element so as to form an acoustic seal therebetween.
- the viscoelastic substance may have a viscosity within the range between 1000 and 100000 cP, such as between 2000 and 80000 cP, such as between 3000 and 50000 cP, such as between 4000 and 40000 cP, such as between 5000 and 30000 cP, such as between 6000 and 20000 cP, such as around 10000 cP.
- the viscoelastic substance may be an oil product in that oil is stable over time and it does not tend to evaporate. Moreover, oil comes with a wide range of viscosities.
- Other suitable candidates as viscoelastic substances may involve gels, magnetic fluids etc.
- a foil or membrane may be arranged in the one or more openings between the static element and the moveable element so as to form the acoustic seal therebetween.

- the signal processing circuitry for processing signals from the pressure transducer may be secured to the static element.
- the ASIC may not be limited to processing signals from the pressure transducer. It may process or generate analogue or digital signals provided by or send to other transducers, DSPs or ASICs.
- the pressure transducer may be secured to the static element. While the pressure transducer is secured to the static element the signal processing circuitry for processing signals from the pressure transducer may be secured to the moveable element. Alternatively, the signal processing circuitry for processing signals from the pressure transducer may be secured to the static element. With both the pressure transducer and the signal processing circuitry secured to the static element a separate mass may be secured to the moveable element.
- the pressure transducer may comprise a MEMS pressure transducer. In order not increase the height of the vibration sensor the pressure transducer and the signal processing circuitry may be arranged next to each other, such as next to each other on a PCB forming the static and/or moveable elements.
- one or more additional masses may be added to the moveable element in order to reduce noise.
- the addition of such one or more additional masses is independent of the position of the pressure transducer and signal processing circuitry.
- the mass to spring stiffness ratio determines the sensitivity and peak frequency position of the vibration sensor.

- the dimensions of the first 101 and second 102 volumes should be kept as small as possible.

Thus, the higher the mass of the moveable mass the lower is the effect of the thermal movement noise of the vibration sensor.
- the area of the pressure generating element 706 and the moveable mass 705 should be as large as possible, and preferably larger than 0.5 mm 2 , such as larger than 1 mm 2 , such as larger than 2 mm 2 , such as larger than 4 mm 2 , such as larger than 6 mm 2 , such as larger than 8 mm 2 , such as larger than 10 mm 2 .
- a large area of the pressure generating element 706 and the moveable mass 705 is advantageous as this requires a smaller amplitude of the movement of the moveable mass 705 in order to reach certain volume displacement and thereby sensitivity.
- a small volume 709 exists between the pressure generating element 706 and the upper side of the top PCB 702.
- the volume should be as small as possible, and preferably smaller than 5 mm 3 , such as smaller than 2 mm 3 , such as smaller than 1 mm 3 , such as smaller than 0.75 mm 3 , such as smaller than 0.5 mm 3 , such as smaller than 0.25 mm 3 , such as smaller than 0.1 mm 3 .
- a compliant sealing 719 in the form of for example a foil, membrane, viscoelastic substance or gel is preferably provided along the edges of the pressure generating element 706.
- the compliant sealing should have a low stiffness and it should be able to withstand reflow temperatures.
- the volume 720 above the pressure generating element 706 and the moveable mass 705 is acoustically connected to the back volume 714 of the MEMS microphone via the channel or tube 721.
